3 Mobile Broadband Starter Kits
3 today announced the launch of three Mobile Broadband Starter Kits on Pay as you go. “What on earth is that?” I hear you cry. Well it’s basically a way of buying several months worth of PAYG Mobile Broadband in advance, which is up to 20% cheaper than topping up as you go along. You choose from 3GB, 12GB or 24GB of data allowance and get a usb modem/dongle thrown in for a one off payment of £69.99, £149.99 or £249.99 respectively.
Why would I buy this?
I see these kits as being the ideal Christmas or birthday present for someone interested in trying out Mobile Broadband. Or perhaps as a caring parent sending young Jimmy off to uni you may want to supply him with a connection to the internet, rather than leave him with the hassle of signing up to 12 months of broadband at home and then fight with housemates who won’t pay the bills. 24GB should last even the most ardent illegal music downloader for 6 to 9 months. Jimmy will be very grateful…
Is it any good?
I’ve tested both of the modems you can buy and rate the ZTE black and green dongle very highly on my sister site, GadgetStylist.com.
I believe Pay as you go/PAYG to be the best way to get into mobile broadband if you’re only going to be an occasional user and these packs offer better value than buying individual top ups alone.
The packs are available now in the 3 online store so just click here if you want to read more.
